Hyaluronic Acid
Dr. Oz in his advice for women caring for their skin at 40 and over says, "A good way to add hydration to the skin without excessive greasiness is to use a moisturizer with hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid helps to restore moisture levels to the skin as it actively attracts water.
Hyaluronic acid, or simply referred to as HA, occurs naturally in the body and is present in every tissue of the body. It has many functions including stimulating the tissue's water retention capabilities. Hyluronic Acid also helps to provide nutrients and remove waste from cells that do not have a direct blood supply. Additionally, Hyluronic Acid is found in the skin and in the synovial fluid in the joint cavities. As levels of hyaluronic decrease it adversely impacts the skin's ability to retain moisture, thus leading to those inevitable wrinkles. Hyaluronic Acid is found in all Ecologica Skin Creams as the major active ingredient because of its natural wrinkle filling ability.  Hyaluronic acid is one of the active anti-aging ingredients to look for in skin rejuvenation products. Topically, the benefits of HA can be quite significant. Unlike topical "collagen treatments", HA has the ability to be effectively absorbed by the skin as well as serves as an efficient "carrier" of other anti-aging ingredients to cells. That means that the active anti-aging ingredients are transported to the cells through the layers of skin. As a result, hyaluronic acid is preferred over topical so called collagen treatments mainly because HA can actually reach the cells!
